Our first AWP conference in a while, but it's in Baltimore, so of course we'll be there! At off-site events, too. If you're going to AWP, stop by our table, T623, and say hello. conference.awpwriter.org/index.cfm

An excellent conference last year. No doubt this one will also be a great experience. easternshorewriters.org/page-1075433
